In this getting started guide, your project was always backed with VirtualBox.
|

|
|
But Vagrant can work with a wide variety of backend providers, such as VMware,
|

|
|
AWS, and more. Read the page of each provider for more information on how to
|
||
|
|
set them up.

# Providers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this getting started guide, your project was always backed with
|
||
|
|
[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org). But Vagrant can work with
|
||
|
|
a wide variety of backend providers, such as [VMware](/docs/vmware/),
|
||
|
|
[AWS](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws), and more. Read the page
|
||
|
|
of each provider for more information on how to set them up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have a provider installed, you do not need to make any modifications
|
||
|
|
to your Vagrantfile, just `vagrant up` with the proper provider and
|
||
|
|
Vagrant will do the rest:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ vagrant up --provider=vmware_fusion
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ready to move that to the cloud? Take it to AWS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ vagrant up --provider=aws
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you run `vagrant up` with another provider, every other Vagrant
|
||
|
|
command does not need to be told what provider to use. Vagrant can automatically
|
||
|
|
figure it out. So when you are ready to SSH or destroy or anything else,
|
||
|
|
just run the commands like normal, such as `vagrant destroy`. No extra
|
||
|
|
flags necessary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more information on providers, read the full documentation on
|
||
|
|
[providers](/docs/providers/).
